Impact of Lottery Spending on Poor Americans
American spending on lotteries is staggering, with over $100 billion spent annually. The majority of this spending comes from the poorest Americans, with a clear correlation between lower income levels and increased lottery spending. Statistics reveal that the poorest 1% of zip codes spend around $600 per year on lottery tickets, a stark contrast to the $150 spent by the richest 1%. Despite the odds and financial strain, the pandemic has exacerbated lottery spending among the poorest households.
